Akodo Tenjin was a poet of exceptional skill and minimal tact of the Lion Clan. He was executed for offending the Emperor Hantei III with the bluntness of one of his poems. When a plague subsequently fell over the Imperial Court, the Hantei sought forgiveness and elevated Tenjin to the status of Fortune. [1]
Fortune[]
Tenjin was worshipped by poets, authors, and scribes for aid in their craft, and by spies for access to secrets, as the Fortune of Writing, [2] Stories, and Secrets. [3] The most common offering to him was a personal secret written on a folded paper slip that was burned at the altar of one of his shrines. [4] A large portion of the Lion consider Tenjin, rather than Kisshōten, to be the eighth Great Fortune. [5]
Shrine[]
In nearly every great library of Rokugan was a shrine to the Fortune Tenjin. [1]
